is bumper/fender meeting area flush?

We we coming out of dinner last night and my wife looks at my car and notices that the fender sticks out further than the bumper. it's similar on the other side too.


so my question is, if you run your hand over the where the front bumper meets the left and rigth fender, does the fender stick out more than the bumper or are they perfectly flush? if they're flush then I think the dealership my have run my car into something when they were doing my oil change.

thanks for your help.

I don't notice anything while I'm washing/wiping that area of the car at a car wash, so I think it's flush

It's supposed to be flush, but there is a small amount of adjustment possible by loosening the screw in the inner fender lip and adjusting the relative position of the bumper.

I just had a minor accident where I had to replace my front bumper. My bumper use to be flushed. The new bumper is not flushed. It is slightly caved inwards from the fender. However, I drove by the Acura dealership to check other Tsx's front bumpers. Some are flushed and some are not.

I myself am not sure if I should bring my car back to the dealer to have them fix the none flushness. According to junktionfet this appears to be adjustable. If this is the case then I might bring my car back to the dealer for adjustments.
